A grand new art exhibition will take place at TAAG Arts and Community Centre in Teignmouth. A wide selection of wonderful paintings will go on display by artist Martin Dutton SWAc who celebrates 64 years of painting. Admission is free.

Martin Dutton SWAc originally from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire has lived and worked for many years in the North of England as a painter and lecturer in Further and Higher Education, culminating as Head of Department for 13 years at Bradford College. He has long since retired from education and moved to Devon to focus on painting.

Now well established in the South West, he has been elected to The South West Academy of Fine and Applied Art, is President of Teignmouth Art Society and a committee member of Devon Art Society and Torbay Guild of Artists.

Quoting John Hoyle – Martin ́s paintings belong to that long tradition of employing light and colour to depict the natural world inspiring our imagination. His work exudes painterly flair and visual lyricism. They are truly paintings for lasting enjoyment and contemplation.
